Meet Hamlet and experience small excerpts of Shakespeare's famous drama – right there, where it all began.
It's not theater as you know it – but short, live scenes with the familiar characters from the story. Every half hour, they appear in different places around the castle and perform small excerpts from Hamlet. Sometimes they stick to the script – other times they look you straight in the eyes and pull you into the narrative. Between scenes, the characters wander around the castle, bringing the story to life with you – so keep an eye out for them as you explore the corridors and halls.
